The artist is Racey Helps, illustrating for The Medici Society, and we are so excited to be bringing his work into the 21st century to be enjoyed all over again. Full of sweet and fuzzy nostalgia, these illustrations are so beautiful and it’s a joy to work with them.
Racey Helps. 1913-71. A Somerset-born antiquarian book-dealer. A course at the West of England College of Art set him on a career as an author and illustrator of children's books and his charming artwork featuring an array of anthropomorphic woodland animals was widely reproduced as postcards and greeting cards.
Please note, these signs are made of thin aluminium sheet which can be sharp on edges/corners. They are finished with wire hangers so both these factors make them unsuitable for young children.
An 11oz mug and coaster are available in this design.
